Surface fading and minor surface marks are visible on the top. Measuring 73.6 cm high, 95.8 cm wide, and 49.5 cm deep when closed, this item suits placement beside the front door or in a hallway in an English country house interior, serving as a decorative console or a practical side table.

FAQs

A Victorian card table is a specialised piece of fold-over furniture popular in 19th-century homes, designed for playing parlour games and card games, often serving as a decorative console when closed.

These tables were predominantly constructed from rich hardwoods such as walnut, mahogany, and rosewood, frequently decorated with figured burr veneers, marquetry inlay, and supported by turned legs on ceramic castors.

Authentic 19th-century examples display hand-cut joinery, original brass fold-over hinges, a baize playing surface beneath the swivel top, and period-correct ceramic or brass castors.

A Victorian card table functions effectively as an entryway console table, hallway focal point, or behind a sofa, where its compact footprint and decorative top can hold lighting and decorative objects.

Maintain walnut furniture by dusting regularly with a soft dry cloth and applying a high-quality beeswax polish along the wood grain twice yearly, while keeping the piece away from direct heat and sunlight.
